You don't need to show the wait cursor yourself, it appears automatically whenever the app isn't reading its event queue. In the situation you describe, what you should do is show the user a progress bar or the like to indicate what's going on in the background. (Like Classic Startup, for example.)

I have a peas of code I ported from BSD to Cocoa via C++ Class's. That is
working fine. But when I execute my code the wait cursor do's not show up
when the mouse is over the application. The user continues to click button
thinking there is nothing going on. Is there a way to activate the wait
cursor, or do I need to provide my own like OS 9. If I do need to provide
on, is there and example to do this so it looks like the OS instead of some
hack.
